What if I told you you could make cookies from scratch in 20 minutes and with only 3 ingredients? OK, fine, 15 minutes. Tops! I promise!
These almond butter cookies are truly amazing, and made with only 3 ingredients! And flour isn’t one of them! And because they have so few ingredients, they are super easy to make: all you need is a bowl and a spatula to mix. The perfect recipe for beginners and children.
I used almond butter, but obviously any nut butter will do just fine, as would your favourite peanut butter. You can also play around with the amount and type of sugar
Makes about 20
- 280g / 1 cup almond butter
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- A pinch fleur de sel (optional)
Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F and line a baking sheet with baking parchment.
In a medium bowl, mix the almond butter, sugar and egg until well combined.
Take 1 teaspoon of the mixture, roll it into a ball. Place the balls about 2cm/1 in. apart onto the baking sheet.
Sprinkle each ball with a little fleur de sel, if using, and flatten with the back of a fork, making a crisscross pattern on the cookies.
Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the edges start to brown a little.
Let cool completely before removing from the cookie sheet.
Enjoy!
